It is a beautiful, breezy day here in Sydney and I am thrilled to finally announce the Encore Clutch is now available! I’ve been on a smaller bag kick lately because of my back, and the Sunrise Saddle Bag has been such a hit that I thought staying on the smaller end for a while might be a good thing…

I am SO EXCITED to announce my new pattern that I do not even need another cup of coffee!! It’s fitting that I’m writing this at 1am, since 80% of this pattern has been designed and written after Emmett goes to bed, often ending with me staying up until sunrise! (Get it?) But, I assure you it has been thoroughly tested…

I am so excited to announce my first new pattern of 2017! The Roundabout Hobo is a medium-sized, zippered hobo with an integrated handle. It has an internal slip pocket and welt-style zippered pocket with instructions to cleanly install the zip with no raw edges (including hiding the edges of the zipper tape!) It tucks up just under your arm…

I’ve tried so hard to not tease you with this one, since the timeline for release wasn’t mine, but I did have to send it to some wonderful testers so I’m afraid the word got out last week… We fail at action shots. More on that in a minute! :) So several months ago Jen from One Thimble contacted me and…

I am SO EXCITED for Halloween this year. Halloween hasn’t always been big in Australia, but they seem to be importing American traditions recently. Last year we headed out to our friends’ house in the suburbs to hand out candy, and the boys decided to interpret TRICK-OR-TREAT in their own way and shot silly string all the newbie Trick-or-Treaters. :P I…

I’ve been teasing you all for weeks, so I am super excited to officially introduce you to my new pattern, Get Carded! As usual, this one has a fun little story behind the name. As I was trying to come up with a new design, I asked on the Facebook page what features you wanted. Zipper coin pouch, wrist…

I have to apologize for disappearing for the last few of days but I had to focus on finalizing this design… I just got approval from the girls to name this “Get Carded” :D What do you think? Prototyping is an interesting process. Sketching a design is one thing but getting it to behave with fabric is another. Add in…

As you’ve probably guessed, there is a fun story behind this one! When we first started talking, Bob would randomly look through my patterns and tutorials and send me a message like “Do you know what this needs? POCKETS!!” So then the joke became zippers (me) and pockets (him). One of the things he got fixated on early was this…

Named by my friend Shannon (@sewyourownway), the makeup bag pattern is off to testers and will be available soon! Until then, I will leave the comment thread open for a giveaway of the new Make Me Up Before You Go-Go PDF Pattern! Just leave a comment and I’ll choose a winner once the pattern is available! Comments are closed and…

Thanks to some very helpful pattern testers, I’m thrilled to finally be able to announce the Bigger on the Inside Drawstring Backpack! I took your basic flat drawstring backpack and added some extra features I think you’ll like. The oval bottom allows you to fit your running shoes or a sweatshirt or use this as a tote or purse without…
